Privacy and data use

This page describes how LectAIve handles student information today. It is the same description students accept when they first sign in (version 2026-08-22).

How LectAIve uses AI

LectAIve uses artificial intelligence as a learning and educational support tool. It can help explain ideas, generate transcripts and summaries, suggest study help, and answer questions about course material.

AI can be wrong

AI-generated explanations, transcripts, summaries, study assistance, recommendations, and answers can sometimes be incomplete or incorrect. Use your own judgment. When something matters for your grade or understanding, check official course materials or ask your instructor.

Your academic responsibilities

AI should support your learning. It should not replace your own work, thinking, or academic responsibilities. You remain responsible for following your school's, institution's, instructor's, and course's academic integrity policies.

What the platform may store

The system may store information associated with your account so the service can function. This may include course information, learning preferences, progress, grades or grade-related information when applicable, AI personalization settings, and platform activity needed to operate LectAIve.

How your information is accessed

Student information is accessed only according to the application's authorization and privacy rules. Other students cannot see your private profile, your questions, or your personalization settings.

What your instructor can see

Your instructor and any co-instructors for a course can see your activity in that course. This includes the questions you ask the AI during a lecture, the reactions you send, how long you spend on each slide, and your quiz and progress results. They can also see class-wide summaries built from that activity. They cannot see your Tune My AI notes, your personalization settings, or your activity in courses they do not teach.

Your personalization does not change the lecture

Your preferences change how the AI explains things to you in chat, study material, and summaries. They never change your instructor's lecture content, slides, or narration. Those stay exactly as your instructor wrote them.

What not to type into AI fields

Do not enter passwords, financial information, government identification numbers, or other unnecessary highly sensitive information into AI text fields.

Personalization

Personalized AI responses may use information you voluntarily provide in the Tune My AI section, along with preferences such as how you like concepts explained. You can update those personalization preferences later in Settings.

This is not a legal substitute

This acknowledgment explains how LectAIve uses AI and related data on this platform. It is not a substitute for a formal Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, FERPA review, institutional policy review, or any other legally required documentation.

What is stored

A signed-in student can download all of this from Settings, and can delete the personalization half of it at any time.

Personalization — yours to delete

  • Profile and preferences
  • AI learning notes
  • AI questions and answers
  • Preference change history
  • Personal digests
  • Dismissed nudges

Course record — kept while you are enrolled

  • Course enrolments
  • Questions asked in lectures
  • Slide reactions
  • Time spent per slide
  • "I am lost" taps
  • Quiz results
  • Course progress
  • Topics flagged for review
  • Your notes
  • Saved summaries
  • Warm-up quiz attempts
  • Post-lecture surveys

This is part of your coursework, so it is included in an export but is not student-deletable. Your instructor relies on it to teach the class.

Your controls

  • Download everything held about your account, as a file.
  • Delete your AI personalization data.
  • Edit or clear your Tune My AI notes.
  • Turn off any preference the system inferred from your behaviour.

All of these are in Settings once you are signed in.

This is not a legal privacy policy

It describes what the software does. It is not a substitute for a formal Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, FERPA review, or institutional policy review, and it does not create any contractual commitment. An institution deploying LectAIve should complete its own review.
